Howard is a division manager at Here Comes the Sun, where you are the HR representative. Howard is extremely frustrated with the new performance appraisal system in which some employees must mandatorily rated low-despite their performance. What type of performance appraisal system are you using at Here Comes the Sun?
Explanation
Answer - B - You are using the forced distribution performance appraisal system at Here Comes the Sun.
Key Takeaway: In the forced distribution method (also known as forced ranking), the managers are compelled to force employee performance into a bell-curve system, with a top 10%, next 35%, next 45%, and the bottom 10% (similar to how many public school teachers rank students). In this system, most employees will fall into the middle of the performance spectrum.
